By Lance Eliot, the AI Trends Insider Where am I? I know that I am standing in a dark room. It is so dark that I cannot see anything at all. I was led into the room while wearing a blindfold. Once inside the room, I was walked around in a circuitous manner, making numerous […]
By Andrej Karpathy, Director of AI at Tesla I sometimes see people refer to neural networks as just “another tool in your machine learning toolbox”. They have some pros and cons, they work here or there, and sometimes you can use them to win Kaggle competitions. Unfortunately, this interpretation completely misses the forest for the trees. […]
By Dr. Lance B. Eliot, the AI Trends Insider Let me begin by saying that I believe in Occam’s razor. A variant is also known as Zebra. I’ll explain all of this in a moment, but first, a bit of a preamble to warm you up for the rest of the story. Self-driving cars are […]
By Dr. Lance B. Eliot, the AI Insider for AI Trends I drive a somewhat exotic luxury car. Driving around, I am at times especially aware of the fact that it is a pricey car and either get accolades from other drivers and pedestrians, or at times receive ire from those that think it is […]
DABUS is a new type of AI that paves the way for smarter machines. Nothing new there – but this machine-learning system is different. DABUS, short for “device for the autonomous bootstrapping of unified Sentience”, is deliberately created to be mentally unstable. Since the 90s, computer scientist Stephen Thaler has been injecting noise into a […]
Glasswing Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the next generation of AI-powered startups, this week unveiled its Connect Council. The Connect Council consists of two working groups: the AI & Academic Group, and the Business Leadership Group. It is the first of three advisory councils to support and extend Glasswing Ventures’ investment strategy. […]
A Wellington, New Zealand-based technology group has unveiled a pilot digital platform: ‘SAM – the Virtual Politician’ at the launch of the Wellington CIT.AI chapter, part of a global network of cities showcasing their artificial intelligence (AI) capability and talent. The group’s spokesperson Nick Gerritsen, said the group aimed to test whether the ways in […]
Google’s Geoffrey Hinton, an artificial intelligence pioneer, in November outlined an advance in the technology that improves the rate at which computers correctly identify images and with reliance on less data. Hinton, an academic whose previous work on artificial neural networks is considered foundational to the commercialization of machine learning, detailed the approach, known as […]
